The old stobie pole has been removed.
Whilst making a 1 hour drive from McLaren Vale back to Adelaide, I took a 5 hour detour.
It turns out both main arterial roads from the south into Adelaide were blocked. Two seperate accidents had brought down stobie poles on both Goodwood and
South Road. Traffic was backed up for about 10 kms. Goodwood Road was completedly shutdown, South road had a detour close to the accident.
I took the detour and then tried to escape. I cut off Port Road, up Cheif Street and then got stuck behind a truck, stuck under a bridge. They though the
track was shorter than it really was and now .. wedged ... there was no easy way to turn around or et it out. I gave in and started taking photos.
For non South Australians ..
A Stobie pole is a power line pole made of two steel joists held apart by a slab of concrete in the middle. It was invented by Adelaide Electricity Supply
Company design engineer James Cyril Stobie (1895–1953). Stobie used materials easily at hand due to the shortage of timber caused by the arid and treeless
nature of much of South Australia and destruction from white ants. The pole was patented in 1924.
From the news: Truck toppled stobie pole closes South Road.
"A stobie pole with powerlines carrying 66,000 volts of electricity has been toppled after it was clipped by a "Murphys" truck which the tipper section had clipped the pole travelling along South Road.
The stretch of South Road between Port Road and Torrens Road is expected to be subject to traffic diversions for most of the afternoon as ETSA crews attempt
to replace the damage infrastructure and restore power to some 2500 users who have been left without electricity as a result of the accident. A small grass
fire ignited shortly after the lines were brought down, with a neighbouring business owner quickly able to put out flames.
ETSA is hoping to have services returned to users without power by later this afternoon.
MFS and police were redirecting traffic, with hopes of having one lane open each way by 1:00pm, with the road not expected to be fully open again until early
tomorrow morning.
Police are advising of major traffic delays and are recommending motorists avoid the area completely."
At 5 pm that night, the street was still blocked (Accident was about 10:30am)

I am unsure how many hundreds of thousands of cars use this road daily, but this was a major issue.

I was going to stop posting skiing pictures for a while but there has been massive nationwide interest and concern* regarding what happened as a result of the possible collision in my last picture. So here is just one more shot. Incidentally the cute snowboard lady had an incredibly photogenic smile. In fact I have never seen such a big grin on a crashing skier before (she grounded herself to prevent a collision). And robo-skier-kid still doesn't seem to have noticed that anything untoward had happened.
* well, soonerpa was curious
Texas has had over 3 million acres to burn this year in wildfires.....
this is the aftermath of just one of many here in Texas!!! National
Forest Service spokeswoman Rae Brooks said the fire started
after noon on Friday, June 17, in the Davy Crockett National Forest,
about 130 miles northeast of Houston. This particular fire was in
East Texas at the Trinity County and Polk County line referred to as
"The Bearing Fire" :
"The Bearing fire has consumed 20, 222 acres. The most intense area
of the fire is burning near Carmona. "Two homes and six cabins were
destroyed and dozens of residents have been evacuated," according to
the latest reports from the Disaster Command Center."
The blaze is now the largest fire on record in East Texas history, officials said.

The aftermath of the dinner party resulted in a styrofoam cup in the tea candle floating in water upon the shelf.... must have been a good night then.
My mother took this photo. The three dogs have a habit of destroying their beds and then trying to look innocent...

I'm not entirely certain where this was taken; most likely Gornji Vakuf, but possibly Mostar.

I'm sure everyone in East Preston and surrounding area knew about the car crash on Sea Road in the early hours of Monday morning, 03:15am approximately. I heard the idiot coming down the road doing around 70mph and before I could get to the window he was backing out of the crash zone and headed off down Sea Road and turned into Sea View road with the front of the Maserati scraping along the ground. The Maserati was later found abandoned.
What amazes me is how the Fiat didn't sustain any damage as the VW was originally parked in front of it outside the estate agents.
The offending vehicle was a high powered Black Maserati, most likely a sports coupe, it was hard to tell from my location as it was raining heavily and it had it's high intensity rear lights on causing much dazzle.

This will be the last of my ondoy disaster pics. tanay can never be the same without this establishment. FYI, the place where it is situated 1st collapsed during the 1960's ( will double check this later), 40 years later, the same thing happened. addtl info: a mother and her child were found buried beneath the rubbles. both wer tied to each other.
the only people who rejoice that this happened are the ones with lots of IOUs. hehehehe. no papel, no files, no utang.
I captured this accident on the 210 FWY yesterday on my way home. I got a chance to take this shot when a police man stopped traffic to allow a tow truck passage, allowing me to carefully compose several shots before traffic was set free. I shot this with a 70-200 L f/2.8 on a 20D

Or Winter Wonderland, Reprise. Yep, I was wondering why I didn't just stay in the car and go to my nice warm house instead of taking a walk in the ice shrouded woods. This is what is left from the thunderstorms, snow, sleet, hail, rain, freezing rain and freezing drizzle we had a couple of nights ago. Gotta love Missouri where the only thing constant about the weather is the constant change....
Shoot done in a shower depicting the aftermath of a violent encounter. (The only thing hurt making these images was the purple lipstick used to create the bruises.)
This is my entry for the third round of the MOCOlypics over on MocPages where I was given the category of "Post Apoc." Here I have depicted what remains after an epic gun battle that took place outside a paritally collapsed building.

We drove through the charred results from the Delta Fire. When this fire was raging, there was a real concern it was going to burn all the way up the Sacramento River Canyon and take out Dunsmuir.

The wreckage of the ninety-plus balloons my friends filled my bedroom with. We had to pop them in the bathtub, as it was the most convenient holding pen for them. My God it was loud.
